Elected auditor questions solicitor letters about code violation, then resigns

Lucinda Novinger, who identified herself as an elected auditor, told supervisors she has served on and off since the 1970s and recently received two letters from the township solicitor asserting the township was in violation of the Second Class Township Code because she was both an elected auditor and a member of the PTMA. Novinger asked whether the solicitor had received her reply and said she thought the timing was suspicious and "that this was a waste of taxpayer money." The solicitor confirmed receipt of her reply.
